We went to a local Triple A baseball game. The kids had a blast. Sam got picked to come on the field for a water balloon toss. After the game, they let all the little kids there come on the field to talk to the players and run the bases. We had a great time, particularly enjoying the food, as usual.

Sam getting an autograph.

After the game we taught Sam and Cora to sing “Take me out to the ballgame”. (Should have done this first, of course.) Cora keeps getting tricked up here:

“Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy some peanut butter and jelly”

Thank you, Lord, for the simple pleasures we have in America. Thank you for granting our family a fun night together. May you be glorified everywhere that we go. Amen.

On this blog, http://www.talkissheep.blogspot.com/ I've been reading about one mom's missions trip to Ethiopia. She is there now, and her stories are both heart breaking and motivating. Her entries are long, but she is speaking for so many people who have no voice. Read for yourself...

And speaking of good blogs, this is a great one: http://www.drawnfromwater.org/

I've been following it for a while, and their stories of rescuing cursed Ethiopian children are so sad. Praise God people are willing to defend these children, but how many are lost?
